Any opinions?

Rosalie is much better than Rosa (which is boring and reminds me of Portuguese cleaning ladies!).

Oh I am so glad you said it Bonsoir, that's what I thought right at the start about Rosa but was afraid to say! Shock

I try to put all thoughts of PCness aside on baby name threads - it is such a critical decision that I think totally truthful opinions are in order!

Rosalie makes me think of a cup of tea.

Rosa makes me think of Rosa Luxemburg and Rosa Parks.

Rosalie is a charcter in Twilight, no?

I have to say, I was devastated when people kept asking me if the beautiful name we chose for DD (who was named for a JD Salinger story, actually) was a Twilight reference. I had no bloody idea that it was a character from the series and would have seriously thought twice about it if I had.

Depends how much you like substandard teenage twaddle the books and films, I suppose.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone - we don't watch Twilight and didn't know there was a character called Rosalie until it was mentioned on here! Still really like the name anyway!

Rosa after Rosa Parkes! Rosalie is a bit silly, nice for a little girl, but for an adult....

Rosalie is lovely, but I prefer Rosa. I think Luxembourg and Parks, too. It's strong but feminine. A fabulous name.

DS was going to be Rosa! (If he hadn't been a boy, obviously...) Smile

Speak

Secretwishescometrue · 16/11/2010 16:19

Gah! Blush stupid mobile internet Blush did not mean to post that! Was going to say love Rosalie and don't worry bout the twilight thing as they pronounce it different in the movie ( they call her Rosalee, which is lovely too imo)
